He won because he had a medical exemption despite scomo saying he didn't.

He did not and does not have an exemption from doing quarantine, you are melding together two different issues, it's not one-in-all-in.

I don't care about his vaccine exemption, if he had COVID he can't be vaccinated, but he shouldn't get special elite considerations over and above those afforded to you, me or anybody else!

Irrespective of the fact he isn't considered properly white by anglos

Strange thing to say

Strange thing to say

nah, he won because he's got white male privilege after having become rich.

Irrespective of the fact he isn't considered properly white by anglos, wasn't born into riches, and is privleged only because he's an elite athlete like the rest of them and is treated the same.

Would that be all "anglos"? Sounds like a pretty wide-ranging assumption about a very large group of individuals.

It is a little.
I'm just wondering where it's coming from...
I noticed a Greek flag amongst the protestors, there may have been more than one.
Do Greeks in general feel some type of affinity with the Serbs, Thry.
It's not something I was aware of and is there a background to that.

Kind of.

Some of it dates back to Orthodox Christianity, Geo Politics, and a break away from the Ottoman empire.  Some of it is steeped in Byzantine empire, and is similar to the Uno Fazza Uno Razza with the Italians.  It all dates back to Roman times, and is quite irrelevant these days, but in the last couple of hundred years, the break up of the ottoman empire has contributed to that affinity.  There is even talk of Greeks having taught the Cyrillic alphabet to the people from that region, and when you look at Cyrillic and Greek there is a sharing of script there that looks familiar in some places (possibly like the skandinavians.

 

This is my experience of living in Australia.

I am white and have white privilege to minority groups, true dark skinned people, the LBGTQI community and females (i am male).

I am not truly one of the club like some of the others. 

I have been told to f%ck off back to where I came from as recently as 2017, from someone who is "more australian" and am leaving a place where people who have names with 2 syllables in them continually end up in leadership roles, whilst any more, and you get tokenism at best, with respect to leadership roles.

Not all people are guilty of the same crimes, but yet, when the boos were going for Adam Goodes, they did all end up racists didnt they?

Just applying the same argument.  If the shoe fits, you can wear it or not.  Your choice, but I find it interesting to see that people don't like being lumped into one group like this, but are happy to do it to others.
